The depiction of Azel's re-emergence was vivid and complex. I'm curious whether this was inspired by mythological transformations or if it evolved naturally during writing.

His go-to method keeps the story moving but also raises questions about growth and self-awareness. What do others think about his decision-making?

The world felt rich and layered, making me wonder if the author built a detailed lore bible or if it developed organically through the story.
